Aaron watched as the lad seemed to be coming to a decision. It was as if an ultimatum had been delivered: Succeed or fail trying.
"Well, my training didn't consist of the average mage's studies, Jade. Knowledge is power it's said, but I would rather think of it as a weapon. And a weapon doesn't wield itself. It won't be easy. You'll need to build up physical stamina, as well as sharpen your magecraft, but I'll help if that's what you wish."
He spoke quietly, as if reminding himself of some goal from the distant past."It's a long road to reach the peak of perfection....One we never reach, but that is where we must aim."

Hearing Aaron's grim words made Jade slightly uneasy, however, he steeled himself and answered, a determination to be strong apparent in his voice, "Well... If that is what is needed, then I will do it... I need to grow strong... And I need to fast..."

Coming out of his musing, Aaron glanced over at Jade. "Well, good. I'm glad to see you're committed, but don't worry about it too much. Strength comes in it's own ways, and in many forms. It can be strength of character or personality, as well as mind or body. It can show itself in a fight, or in compassion. We can work on all this later, but for now, I need to catch some sleep."
Aaron started to roll over, and then remembered the small candles, one on his side of the room, and one on the other, mounted in brackets on the walls. Quirking his brow in annoyance, he extinguished the candle on his side of the room with a quick thrust of his will.
"Goodnight Jade. I'll see you in the morning."

"Thank you, Aaron..." Jade thanked the mage with a fading voice. He watched as the mage extinguished the candle on his side of the room, turned around and fell asleep almost immediately.
Jade sat on the bed for a while, thinking about all the things that had happened since he had seen that Etrurian noble on the streets of Pherae that morning. He was glad to finally have found an easier way to search for his parents, as well as gaining some friends and companions after months of being alone.
When his mind had cleared, he blew out the candle on his side of the room silently and lay down on his bed, finally being able to sleep well after a long time of nightmares and sadness.
